Childish Gambino, Beyonce, Pharrell, and Elton John survived a shooting gallery album cuts.
Within minutes Disney’s ficial announcement, the Twitterverse has gone apesh*t over the ficial tracklisting for The Lion King’s ficial soundtrack. First f, the soundtrack was arranged in full by the most iconic film composer his generation: the one, the only Hans Zimmer – in a resumption his role on the animated original.
Couple that with, the film’s musically-enamored cast members singing along to Zimmer’s compositions, and you’ve got yourself a dandy. But rest assured, the Beyhive will no doubt stammer through their sleep at the thought Beyonce only garnering a single placement on the soundtrack.
Jokes aside, the lineup on this motion picture soundtrack is quite buff. Seth Rogen, Pharrell, Chiwetel Ejior, Hans Zimmer, John Oliver, Elton John, Childish Gambino, all figure in the final product in some capacity. As you’ll note, the 17th song on the tracklist was left bare for some indeterminable reason. Hit us with your thoughts in the comment section below.
